  • Rosetta 2 on Apple Silicon Macs offers fast performance and translates your apps at install time. That means they’ll launch immediately and be very responsive. VMWare Fusion and VirtualBox.
  • Many of you folks requested how Android Studio, Docker, Homebrew, Dot Net Core and Lightroom is running on the new Apple Silicon chips. Take a look at the vi.

Vagrant works great on Macs with M1, the issue is finding a compatible 'provider' (VirtualBox, VMWare etc). For my personal projects I've been able to switch from using VirtualBox to Docker as a Vagrant provider, and it works well enough for what I need it to do.

Apple’s “one more thing” event on November 10, 2020, revealed the first Mac computers powered by the Apple M1 chip.

Parallels is excited to see the performance, power efficiency, and virtualization features that are brought to the Mac with the Apple M1 chip. The transition to Mac with the M1 chip should be smooth for most Mac applications, thanks to Rosetta technology. Fortunately, Parallels Access™, Parallels® Toolbox, and Parallels® Client software worked smoothly as universal binaries even before Parallels rebuilt them. However, virtual machines are an exception and Parallels engineers proactively implemented native virtualization support for Mac computers with the M1 chip. This enables our users to enjoy the best Windows-on-Mac experience ever.

When Apple Silicon Mac was first announced during the keynote at WWDC on June 22 of this year, Apple demoed a Parallels Desktop for Mac prototype running a Linux virtual machine flawlessly on Apple Silicon. Since WWDC, the new version of Parallels Desktop, which runs on Mac with the Apple M1 chip, has made tremendous progress. We switched Parallels Desktop to universal binary and optimized its virtualization code; Apple M1 Mac computers and macOS Big Sur became available, and Microsoft announced and then introduced support for x86_64 applications in Windows on ARM Insider Preview.

As our customers know, Parallels cares deeply about the quality of our software products and the experience they provide. With macOS Big Sur and the new Mac with Apple M1 chip available, we continue to conduct more extensive evaluations, both in our lab and with your help via the Parallels Technical Preview Program. More than 100,000 M1 Mac users tested the Technical Preview of Parallels Desktop 16 for M1 Mac and ran Microsoft’s Windows 10 on ARM Insider Preview, as well as tens of thousands of different Intel-based Windows applications—including Microsoft Office for Windows, Microsoft Visual Studio, SQL Server, Microsoft PowerBI, and MetaTrader.

We received enthusiastic feedback about the remarkable performance of both the Technical Preview of Parallels Desktop 16 for M1 Mac and Windows 10 on ARM Insider Preview as well as x86 applications and the games inside it, including Rocket League, Among Us, Roblox, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Sam & Max Save the World, and many others. Testers loved Parallels Desktop’s easy to use features, and seamless integration of Windows and its applications with macOS Big Sur, which increased their productivity.

On April 14th 2021, the new update for Parallels Desktop 16 for Mac was released and now features support for both Mac computers with Intel processor as well as Mac computers with Apple M1 chip.

Docker Desktop for Mac on Apple silicon is now available as a GA release. This enables you to develop applications with your choice of local development environments, and extends development pipelines for ARM-based applications.

Docker Desktop for Apple silicon also supports multi-platform images, which allows you to build and run images for both x86 and ARM architectures without having to set up a complex cross-compilation development environment. Additionally, you can use docker buildx to seamlessly integrate multi-platform builds into your build pipeline, and use Docker Hub to identify and share repositories that provide multi-platform images.

System requirements

You must install Rosetta 2 as some binaries are still Darwin/AMD64. To install Rosetta 2 manually from the command line, run the following command:

We expect to fix this in a future release.

Known issues

  • Not all images are available for ARM64 architecture. You can add --platform linux/amd64 to run an Intel image under emulation. In particular, the mysql image is not available for ARM64. You can work around this issue by using a mariadb image.

    However, attempts to run Intel-based containers on Apple Silicon machines can crash as QEMU sometimes fails to run the container. Filesystem change notification APIs (e.g. inotify) do not work under QEMU emulation, see docker/for-mac#5321. Therefore, we recommend that you run ARM64 containers on Apple Silicon machines. These containers are also faster and use less memory than Intel-based containers.

    We expect this issue to become less common over time, as more and more images are rebuilt supporting multiple architectures.

  • ping from inside a container to the Internet does not work as expected. To test the network, we recommend using curl or wget. See docker/for-mac#5322.
  • Users may occasionally experience data drop when a TCP stream is half-closed.

Fixes since Docker Desktop RC 3

  • Docker Desktop now ensures the permissions of /dev/null and other devices are correctly set to 0666 (rw-rw-rw-) inside --privileged containers. Fixes docker/for-mac#5527.
  • Docker Desktop now reduces the idle CPU consumption.

Fixes since Docker Desktop RC 2

  • Update to Linux kernel 5.10.25 to improve reliability.

Fixes since Docker Desktop RC 1

Virtualbox Mac Apple Silicon

  • Inter-container HTTP and HTTPS traffic is now routed correctly. Fixes docker/for-mac#5476.

Virtualbox For Apple Silicon

Fixes since Docker Desktop preview 3.1.0

  • The build should update automatically to future versions.
  • HTTP proxy support is working, including support for domain name based no_proxy rules via TLS SNI. Fixes docker/for-mac#2732.

Fixes since the Apple Silicon preview 7

  • Kubernetes now works (although you might need to reset the cluster in our Troubleshoot menu one time to regenerate the certificates).
  • osxfs file sharing works.
  • The host.docker.internal and vm.docker.internal DNS entries now resolve.
  • Removed hard-coded IP addresses: Docker Desktop now dynamically discovers the IP allocated by macOS.
  • The updated version includes a change that should improve disk performance.
  • The Restart option in the Docker menu works.
